Adobe clutches chance to bury Steve Jobs 'hog' insult

"After calling Flash a "CPU hog," Steve Jobs has given Adobe the
chance to live down this now famous insult. And Adobe is taking
it.

"Steve Jobs also called Flash "buggy" and littered with security
holes. And he summarily banned it from both the iPhone and the iPad
- even when it's translated into Jobsian machine code. But with the
latest update to the Mac OS X version known as Snow Leopard, the
Jobsian cult has added an API that allows third parties to
hardware-accelerate H.264 video on the Mac, and Adobe tells The Reg
it's already working to tap that API.

"A company spokesman says that Mac hardware acceleration will
arrive with an incarnation of the Flash Player due "shortly after"
version 10.1, which is now on its second release candidate."
